IN THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
One Of the clerks in the Congress
sional Library tells some interesting
things about the people who patron
ize that great institution. He says
that the Justices of the Supreme
Court use the library great deal,
net only when they are on the bench
but for private interests and pleas
ure. But as a matter OF business
they are continually calling for
books for reference in pending cases
before them. Their own library is
very limited compared to this one,
which is practically unlimited. One
Of them wants a book on chemistry
and another wants one on naviga-
ton; another wants one on American
history and another concerning
mechanical art. The clerks can
generally tell what kind of case is
uppermost in the minds of the JUS
tioes of the Supreme Court by the
kinds of books trey call for. On
one occasion, when DR.. Stevenson
was Librarian, clerk made for
tune by doing some immense guess
ing. He saw that there was great
case on the tapis, and that itinvolved
a great deal OF money. There were
mining interests involved and
stocks we're for sale A de-
cisioa either way would boom one
mine and ruin the other. He studied
the case, talked with the members Of
the court about it, showed them

SIDNEY LANIER.

A soul song-winged few swirl as thought
Prem out the shadow drear and dim
Above the Eastern o'cean's rim;
IL breasted winds with tempest fraught,
IL traced with eye Of piercing light
The onward way, nor stopped to rest,
But looked and struggled toward the west.
A dauntloss soul to hear and sect
Replote with subtlest melody,
1t hungered for tho dying day
And ttrOve for all each hour possessed.
War roared beneath, and cannon smoke
Rose up and shut the shinirg eye;
Want struck sting in body's broaIt,
And trade swept on with roaring cry
Heard not the music in the sky.
But still he sang this soul Of songi
Colds utmost cou not wholly chill,
Nor wars grim menace daunt him long,
Nor hunger silence him at will;
For though on falling wing he hung
BE drank the light rs others wi o,
Flew slowler, pausing oft-and sung
Some hints 0fharmOnies, vast and dim
As wind song by the white seas rim.
While hearts blood ebbed al every breath
He passed life's headland bleak and dun,
Flew through the Western gate of Death
And took his place beside the sun.

How to BE Graceful.

A school girl misses great deal ofvalu'
able education who huuies away TO school
morning and afternoon, without having
used her muscles in helping her mother.
She misses something else which, IN few
years. she viii know how 10 value better
than she does n0w-grace Of movement
and carriage.
What makes a girl GRACEFUL It Is us
ing all her bodily powers. A student who
is nothing but student soon begins q
stoop. and the habit, once begun, grows
inveterate and incurabIe. Half our sch0o
girls cannot walk with ease and grace.
We see this very plainly on commence
ment days, when the members OF Oh,
graduating class are obliged to walk 3
few steps before the audience Ihcil
dresses are often too costly and splendid
their hair IS beautifully arranged tueu
pieces are creditably written, one thing
only they lack: they cannot walk
A girl who would have a graceful car
riage. sound digestion, a clear com
plexion and fine teeth, must work ioI
them every day, and no work Is better iol
the purpose than the ordinary work u
house done with diligence and eareinlness

THANKSGIVING DAY.

We publish this morning the Cover
nor's proclamation which he issued in
accordance with that Of the President,
naming the oath instant as the day for a
general recognition by Christian peo-
pie OF the benefits we have enjoyed under
the accepted faith in Providence.
We hardly need to review the events
In which the South has been so patent
and laboroius for the past twenty years
10 demonstrate that a Christian people
owe their deliverance from multitude
OF troubles TO those great moral princi-
pies o. courage, endurance, honesty ana
industry. domestic vir ne, and pa'rIotism
that the civil laws a. well as the spiritual
faith Of a Christian nation impose on
people.
That We can now look forward to a
serene and peaceful future in which the
coming generations can achieve the des-
tiny Of a great country, whose mission
ems to be the political and social sd-
vancement of the whole humanity into a
higher civilization. il owing 10 the active
progress Of free people under the mod
ern civilization, : ith the advantage in
the American idea that religious opinions
are as free as our political creed ard so
far free that men OF the world act accord
ing to the principles Of religion without
being required to conform to any secIsri-
an doctrines.
This being understood, It is time that the
Southern people should observe the ma
,ioDal day Of Thanksgiving along with
their Northern brethren. We have seen
the people of both sections pledge them
selves TO the new era of peace in that
most solemn and impressive tribute
that is offered over the graves OF the
dead soldiers Of the North and South.
Let the State of Virginia, always fore
most in the history Of the country, set
the example and observe the day APP
pointed by the President in general
and becoming spirit.
1t is duty, in the fuldllment OF which
we shall win the respect Of the whole
country, and first of all OF ourselves.

PROCESS OF CANDY MAKING.
The Manufacture Of Stick Candy and We
rfous Kinds of Fancy Coufcct ionery.


The business may properly be divided into
two general branches-the making Of stick
candy and OF the various fancy kinds. The
most interesting branch by all odds is the
first mentioned, and is as much Of a revela-
ton when seen for the first time as glass
blowing. The mixture, after boiling, IL
thrown in plastic state on large stone slabs,
where IL runs out fat into thick sheets
These sheets ARE repeatedly picked up,
doubled over. and kneaded together until
they become Of the right consistency, when
they are rolled into one Immense cylinder Of
grayish color. A narrow strip Of the same
mixture colored red with cochineal, is laid
along one side Of the larger piece and ad-
heres TO it. Little strips OF shade made
whittier by pulling are also laid lengthwlse
and all around that cylinder equal distances
apart This gives an immense stick OF soft,
gray candy, with one big red stripe and sew
eral white ones, all running lengthwise Oh IL
\ man with pair Of gloves on takes bold
OF this and pulls it out the whole length OF
the long table at one end OF which II lies,
runs bis closed hand along the sugar rope
thus made with such dexterity as b make It
perfectly round and OF the exact size he
wishes, twists the rope once or twice 70 make
the stripes run round it, and, prest0 there Is
a stick Of candy as long as a fish pole All
this is done quick as a wink, the long, plant
ropes sqirming into places like snakes under
the magicians hand, until the whole table Is
covered with them When they are cool they
are cut into the right length with peculiar
pair Of shears There is as much stick candy
sold as all the other kinds put together. The
operation just described requires workman
who has had years Of experience.
Making the various kinds Of fancy candles
is a more complicated matter. There Is a de-
signer whose business IL Is 70 continually in
vent novel devices, artistic forms and imlta-
tions of nature-frogs, bugs, mice, fruits,
nuts, etc. These devices are reproduced in
plaster Of paris, and several Of a kind
fastened on stick The instrument thus
formed is repeatedly stamped into the level
surface Of boxes Of pulverized corn starch
Into these holes in the corn starch the pre-
pared strip is turned and cools in the re-
quired shape. The candy is then placed ln
pans and sirup turned over it, which, after
several hours, cools and covers It with
CRYSTALS. Then, when exposed 10 the gas
light, it sparkes and appeals 70 the eye a.
well as the palate All this trouble has been
taken TO probe the young mans pocketbook,
and the reflection should afford him some
satisfaction when spending his last dollar

The Death of "A F1y.

The ship, II appears, had carried away
from England few flies, which had persisted
one by one as the cold grew more and more
intense, till at last only one remained. For
this last survivor the sailors manifested the
greatest solicitude, placing the choicest deli
cacies before it, and taking every conceiy-
able measure 20 prolong It's life, even after Il
had grown too feeble to fly 20 the table. As
its powers weakened they lifted it tenderly to

Measurement Of Clouds.

The most important work IN the
measurement OF clouds IS now done at the
university Of Upsala, Sweden, by Alessrs.
Ekholm and Hagstrom. When oppor-
tunity offers the heights OF clouds are de-
termined thrice daily by simultaneous OBJ
servati0ns at two teleph0nically connected
stations about a mile apart. The angles
Of conspicuous points are carefully noted
by means Of specially adapted instruments,
giving much more satisfactory data for
fixing the distances than have been OBJ
tanned by the Photographic method at
tempted 40 Kew. The greatest height Of
any cloud yet measured is 43, 500 feet, and
the highest velocity is ll2 miles an hour
for a cloud at Is. 600 feet The most inn
portant result thus fsr reached from these
measurements is the fact that clouds are
quite regularly distributed in three layers,

II the Supreme Court should take the
ground that Mr.. Cooper is foreigner
and a dealer in coupons, and place the
case upon different footing from that
OF a native citizen, paying taxes in cou-

still the issue stands both in its legal and
moral bearings. and 1t Is impossible for us
to dodge it.
The Democrats in 1888 did accept the
Riddleberger bill in convention, but the
circumstances that compelled that action
have changed. and the decisions of the
Supreme Court have put different com
